Systematic review reveals dual-surgeon teams improve outcomes in pediatric patients, implying potential benefits for adults.
The results of this study demonstrated statistically significant decrease in length of stay and operative duration with a dual-surgeon team in pediatric patients. In adults, a dual-surgeon team had correlated with a significant decreased rate of complications. There exists a lack of sufficient adult data to determine differences in operative duration, length of stay, and blood loss. Further investigation may utilize larger datasets to better understand the impacts of the dual-surgeon approach for both adult and pediatric populations.
